The kids swinging and sliding during recess at Monte Vista Elementary School likely have no idea of the risk right across the street from the playground.

Kitty-corner from the classrooms and childhood chaos sits New Mexico's largest probation and parole office, serving nearly 6,000 convicted felons. Felons line up and down Monte Vista at various times all day long, waiting to check in.

Grandmother Sue Brown has been vocal about getting this office out of the neighborhood.

"What's it going to take?" she asked. "That's what I keep asking myself."

The state isn't fond of the location either. Regional Probation and Parole manager Elsie Duran said she has the same concerns as parents.

"On [any] given day, you'll have close to 300 to 600 a day reporting to this building," Duran said.

Duran doesn't know why exactly, but says neighborhood complaints have been on the rise lately, even though the office has been at that same location for 30 years. The school, however, has been there for 80 years.

Duran told Target 7 security at and near the office is tight and they have an excellent relationship with the school. But she admits, the risk of having kids so close by is one reason the office will look to relocate when the lease is up in May 2014.

Grandparent Sue Brown wishes it were sooner, looking to prevent even one incident that could leave a student hurt.

There are no sex offenders checking in at that location, that's why the office doesn't face any legal issues with the location.

Albuquerque Public Schools said it doesn't do anything special when it comes to security at Monte Vista. According to Probation and Parole, the principal at Monte Vista said there have been no complaints recently.
